Sports Medicine

The Sports Medicine Department at Alverno College is committed to providing high quality health care to all students involved with Intercollegiate athletics. Athletic Trainers are nationally and state certified to practice Athletic Training and are proficient in the recognition, evaluation and treatment of athletic injuries. The Sports Medicine Department also works with athletes in the education and prevention of common athletic injuries.

The Athletic Training Staff works closely with a staff of orthopedic physicians from Midwest Orthopedic Specialty Hospital and the Orthopedic Institute of Wisconsin, which are housed within Ascension Healthcare Organization. Jamie O. Edwards, MD is Alverno's team physician. If an Alverno student-athlete needs to see the doctor, arrangements will be made for an office visit. For more information about Midwest Orthopedic Specialty Hospital and the Orthopedic Institute of Wisconsin, please visit Ascension Healthcare Organization.

Information About Insurance:
All full time domestic students are required to have Accident Health Insurance while they attend Alverno College. If a student is not covered by a parent's insurance policy, they may purchase the College's insurance policy. If a student is covered by a parent's insurance policy, they have the option of waiving out of the College's insurance plan or enrolling in the plan as an additional primary coverage. Information about the school's insurance program can be found on the College's website or by clicking here: Alverno College - Student Health Insurance
The College DOES NOT cover or provide any insurance coverage or make payment for medical expenses for an athletic injury other than through the NCAA Catastrophic Injury Insurance Program.

The Athletic Training Room is located on the first floor of the Athletic/Fitness Building. It is located across from the main entryway to Reiman Gymnasium and is also easily accessible from the outdoor athletic facilities. Use of the Athletic Training Room is permitted only for those on an Intercollegiate team and who have completed all the necessary paperwork. The hours of the Athletic Training Room are based on practice and game schedules, so they vary daily. Student-athletes can find posted hours weekly on the door of the Athletic Training Room.
